They're great kits for that very purpose. My two have built the Lanc and B-17 that MENG makes.

Me wants one! Perfect for rush hour in Toronto with the way drivers are here these days.

2.66 litres for our two cars- 1.5 litre 4 cylinder and 660cc 3 cylinder. 52cc for my two 1/5 RC gas cars. Or about a single cylinder of your Mustang Carl

That's a great view there Harv. Carl

I agree. They can be quite the pain...

Thanks, it really has gone together nicely. The suspension was only six parts to a side. The hull was just a top and bottom. Nice and simple. It definitely looks cool and has a sci-fi vibe to it. Carl

So are you going to try and get the 1/200 Bismarck to go with it?

So, after having gotten sucked into a Leopard C2 with way too much AM (Voyager PE, Legend resin bits, etc,) I decided to start something quick and easy. Pretty much one colour, no AM, and a reasonably low parts count. I don't have too many pics as it just went together how I wanted. Nice and easy. The plastic is two colours for some reason but the fit is fairly decent overall. The smoke grenades are partially buried in the turret sides so those had to be painted before I glued the turret halves together. Where I am as of last night. It's almost done except for the on vehicle tools, lights, and decals. I should have it done shortly I hope. Carl

I haven't seen any decals for an FAA Seafire either John. Considering that the old Revell kit was/is the only option OOB, it's sort of understandable. Maybe look at stuff for FAA Corsairs and cobble something together? For roundels, you can get masks from Maketar that would work too. Hope that helps. Carl

That's like cheaper than bottled water.

Made that mistake a little while back and man was it expensive. Anyone want a Bandai 1/72 Perfect Grade Millennium Falcon? I've got an extra... Carl

There's an idea. Maybe pick up the sprues from Tamiya and replace the HB engines. I wonder if that would be enough to see her back on the bench... Edit: forgot to say, a very nice engine John. Can I send you a couple of mine to build if you need to keep something on the bench? Carl

Great review so far. Can't wait for the rest of it. Carl

Vancouver has some of, if not the highest prices for gas in Canada. It's 93.9¢ per litre CAD at the Costco near me in Toronto. Which probably explained the massive lineup. Jeff, I heard that BC is one of the cheapest places to insure a supercar because of the way rates are calculated on them. But due to the proportionally high number of those cars being written off in crashes, everyone else gets stuck with the bill. Hopefully they fix that bit. Carl

Happy birthday Jeroen! Carl

Hey Martin, see if your insurance company will spring for this upgrade: https://jalopnik.com/this-ford-mustang-is-a-lamborghini-gallardo-1831106101 Although you do lose the rear seats... Carl

John to the rescue! Carl

And if it doesn't match, don't be afraid to send it back to them to make it right. I did with our car. There was dust, fish eyes, non functioning turn signal, and a scratch in the paint when I got the car back. I took green painters tape and placed it everywhere I saw a flaw and made notes on the tape so they knew what it was they missed And they had to give me a rental while they redid the work. Carl

Ours is supposed to look like that too. But the crawl space is almost nonexistent as the back of our house where the kitchen is is 13 inches lower than the front. And being in the middle of a group of row houses, we're not fixing it any time soon. At least we were able to move our pipes out from under the floor into the kitchen so they don't freeze in winter. What you get when you buy a 125 year old house. Carl

Plus there's not enough weathering from all the handling and transit. Carl

More than the number of F-35s...

Great to see what you're doing. Love watching you guys that can scratch building just about anything needed. Carl

My in-laws are Scottish so I could always get one of them to say it.

Nice trip to memory lane Gaz. Here's to getting it finished this time around! Carl

Very nice Razorback John! Glad you made it over the finish line. Carl
